Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.

Those who guard what they say guard their lives. But those who speak without thinking will be destroyed.

Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

Those who control their tongue will have a long life; opening your mouth can ruin everything.

The one who guards his mouth protects his life; the one who opens his lips invites his own ruin.

One who guards his mouth protects his life; One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

He who guards his mouth preserves his life, But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.

He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his life; But he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

The one who guards his mouth protects his life; the one who opens his lips invites his own ruin.

He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life:[ but] he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

The one who guards his words guards his life, but whoever is talkative will come to ruin.

Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who love it will eat its fruit.

A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are a snare to his soul.

For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.Indeed, we put bits into the horses’ mouths so that they may obey us, and we guide their whole body.Behold, the ships also, though they are so big and are driven by fierce winds, are yet guided by a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires.So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna.For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and sea creature, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind;but nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in the image of God.Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.

In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.

I said,“ I will watch my ways, so that I don’t sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me.”

An evil man is trapped by sinfulness of lips, but the righteous shall come out of trouble.

He who goes about as a tale- bearer reveals secrets; therefore don’t keep company with him who opens wide his lips.

I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.
